What's this about?

The fastest way for us to help you find the wines you'll love (and avoid the wines you won't ) is for you to spend 30 seconds to tell us about your wine tastes. We use these answers, together with your wine ratings to build a detailed profile of your personal tastes. We match your taste profile to our wines taste profile to find the wines that match. Even if it's a grape you don't know, from a place you don't know, made by a person you have never heard of. For example, if you tell us that you like Rioja, we have an Argentinean Malbec that you will adore. And a Spanish Grenache that will blow your socks off.

Red wine preferences

Do you like? Rating (rollover the stars to rate)
Big, full bodied red wines? The kind of wine that goes with a rich meaty stew? E.g. Aussie Shiraz.
Elegant restrained reds...e.g. Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Rioja? Warm, oaky mellow wines, great for sharing around a roaring fire?
Soft, fruity, juicy easy drinking reds. e.g. Chilean Merlot, or a Cote du Rhone?

White wine preferences

Do you like? Rating (rollover the stars to rate)
New Zealand Sauvignons and other fruity, refreshingly zingy whites?
Oaky, mellow fruity wines? Australian Chardonnay for example?
Fruity but DRY whites, perfect for an aperitif
Bone dry classics like Chablis?

Castillo Catadau Gran Reserva 2002

Castillo Catadau Gran Reserva 2002
  • Drink Gran Reserva quality, and 7 years of ageing, for the price of a basic Rioja!
  • Gran Reserva means that the wine is made from the best grapes, aged in oak, aged in bottle and then only released when ready to drink
  • Expect it to be soft and mellow...all the rough stuff has been aged out of the wine years ago

very nice rich fruity wine. Benefits from being opened a good 2 hours before being consumed. Went well with lamb.

As I've said on a few group boards, this wine is a fantastic example of a good Spanish red easily the best wine from Spain I've tasted.<br /><br />Smells wonderful.<br /><br />Smooth and intense flavours like a good dark chocolate and rich fruitiness.<br /><br />5* Recommended<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br /><br />Phil<br />
